Yet the topic remains under-studied among criminologists. The Delinquent Girl is a "state-of-the-field" evaluation that identifies and analyzes girls who become delinquent, the kinds of crimes they commit and the reasons they commit them. The distinguished academics and practitioners who contributed to this volume provide an overview of the research on girls' delinquency, discuss policy implications and point to areas where further research is critically needed. 606 $aFemale juvenile delinquents 606 $aFemale juvenile delinquents 606 $aFemale offenders 606 $aJuvenile delinquency 606 $aTeenage girls 615 4$aFemale juvenile delinquents. 615 4$aFemale juvenile delinquents. 615 4$aFemale offenders. 615 4$aJuvenile delinquency. 615 4$aTeenage girls. 676 $a364.36082 676 $a364.3608352 700 $aZahn$b Margaret$01647330 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827021703321 996 $aThe Delinquent Girl$93994841 997 $aUNINA
